FYI~this is gonna be a longgg rebuild. i like taking my time ensuring that things come out jus the way i want it. my style. no rushing here. plus, i also have a lot on my plate right now (work, getting married in feb., house remodeling, and more **** including this rebuild). but, i will do my best to finish this up and get it on the 1320 by early or mid next year.

i was fortunate enough to run across an awsome deal on a K20r swap that i couldn't pass up on courtesy of jarel, thanks bro...i will make u proud. being that i like doing everythng right the first time, i decided to also clean up my messy bay with some GOLD here and there and tuck the **** out of it while i was doing the swap. and aside from the engine compartment, i will also be prepping Daisy with Project Mandy's left over custom race parts.

and on with the show...

drilled out the radiator lower brackets and passenger side mount bracket. thanks to blue point spotweld drill bits.

no turning back now.

 

I was wondering as to what happened to this car. I hadn't seen any updates in a LONG time.

Good luck with the build!

 

I cant wait for the outcome of this car!!

 

nice in for progress, good luck!

 

wow looks awesome K swaps are so last year. JK car will be amazing

 

This should be good!

 

your wasting time on this dc while the mini is sitting there without a b series.

ill take it off your hands. ha

 

Arn's lying, the Mini is getting the K-swap, and the Mini motor is going into the Integra. :p

 

thanks bro, i thought i was done with the and i would jus let it sit in the garage and jus drive it around everyonce in a while. hell never woulda thought that i'd ever be going k. but i couldn't pass up on this opportunity given to me. so i had to do it.

last year. i'm like 5 years behind. lol

<------late bloomer.

k or b in the mini is jus wayyyyy tooooo damn expensive. but i got something else planned for the mini. everyone knows how much i love boost.


ding ding ding.* jarel gets the prize.

 

woo hoo...one step closer. i placed my order today w/ hybrid-racing.com for their mounts, fuel rail, harness, BOLT IN shift box...yes i said bolt in!!!! and their limited edition shiftknob.

for more info about their BOLT IN shifter box http://www.hybrid-racing.com/store/i...t-shifter.html

since tearing apart the engine compartment, i pretty much jus threw everything i took off all over the garage. as messy as the garage was, my OCD won't let me work in those conditions so i spent the last 2 days cleaning it up and organizing the **** better. i haven't worked on the car since the last update but i did clean and organize the garage better

more updates to come this week.

 

g'ood stuff Arn !!

 

solid!
